Guest guest Posted March 17, 1999 Report Share Posted March 17, 1999 My neurosurgeon told me that recovery varies from patient to patient. I had surgery on a Wednesday, went home on Saturday, and went back to work after three weeks. That was probably a little too soon, but money was tight... It took a total of six months for me to regain complete use of my neck muscles. I was on heavy pain meds for three weeks, then cut to ibuprofen after three weeks, with one heavy med right before bed for another two weeks, one more month with ibuprofen, then off completely. Good luck to you and your son.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 1999 Report Share Posted March 18, 1999 Your neurosurgeon would be able to give you that information. My daughter's surgery will be on the 26th. We are expecting a three day stay in the hospital.
